The RAeS is indeed licensed through the Engineering Council to award CEng status to suitably qualified Engineers. However, as the society is open for membership to anyone in any branch of the Aerospace industry, then a senior officer in the RAF is quite able to join at an appropriate grade, such as MRAeS, and use those letters. He or she however would not, without Engineering qualifications, be able to apply for CEng accreditation. Dentist, Blanket Stacker, Doctor can all be a non Engineering member.
